Had great seats for tonight's Rockies/Padres game, club-level, almost behind home plate. The Padres scored in the first off a solo homer by Yangeris Solarte, but the Rockies came right back and had a 3-1 lead by the third.
The Pads were able to get back on the board with a run in the sixth, then scored two more in the seventh to take the lead.
The wind had picked up right about the sixth, and the temperature had dropped below 50, The sparse crowd (22,000 or so) started putting on jackets or bundling up in blankets.
Colorado was able to tie it up in the eighth on Corey Dickerson's second tater of the night, and then the struggling Daniel Descalso got his 111th career RBI to win it for the Rox in the 9th.
Even though my beloved Padres lost, it was a good game, played at a fairly quick pace, and with just enough action every inning to keep the crowd into it.
This season is looking good for the Padres - heck, that was only their third loss in the last ten games. This summer could prove to be the best baseball summer for me in a long, long time.
